The higher you build your barriers
The taller I become
The farther you take my rights away
The faster I will run
You can deny me
You can decide
To turn your face away (your face away)
No matter, 'cause there's
Something inside so strong
I know that I can make it
Though you're doing me wrong, so wrong.
You thought that my pride was gone, oh no
There's something inside so strong (something inside so strong)
Wohhhhhhoh, something inside so strong.

The more you refuse to hear my voice
The louder I will sing
The more you refuse the things I need
The more I want everything
Deny my place in time
You squander wealth that's mine
My light will shine
So brightly it will blind you (blind you)
'Cause there's
Something inside so strong
I know that I can make it
Though you're doing me wrong, so wrong.
You thought that my pride was gone, oh no
There's something inside so strong (something inside so strong)
Wohhhhhhoh, something inside so strong.

Brothers and sisters,
When they insist we're just not good enough (not good enough)
What'll we do then?
We'll look 'em in the eyes and say,
"We're gonna do it anyway!  We're gonna do it anyway!
We're gonna do it anyway!  We're gonna do it anyway!"
'Cause there's (huh)
Something inside so strong
I know that I can make it
Though you're doing me wrong, so wrong.
You thought that my pride was gone, oh no
There's something inside so strong (something inside so strong)
Wohhhhhhoh, something inside so strong
     (something inside so strong).
Something inside, something inside,
Something inside, something inside
There's something so strong
It's so strong!
